Baron,
I have joined a company recently that regonizes BALPA. Having been involved with outfits that did not, I came to the conclusion it was a no brainer to join. As HF said £400 a year is not much to pay for security and a real inside view on whats happening with contracts etc.
As a group they are strong and in companies with large memberships, they are heard and respected.
Enough said.
Up to you really but if the !!!!e hits the fan you will wish you were in the club!
